I am very good at asking critical and thought-provoking questions.  I question everything constantly and I try to pass this tendency, skill, talent—what have you—onto my students.  I believe in doing so I have had great success. 

Another talent that I have is connecting to students.  I have a great rapport with students and have achieved this through creating a culture of mutual respect in my classroom and in giving students a great deal of freedom in what they do, how they learn, what they and are assessed.  I try to understand students as individuals as much as I possibly can and I believe they know and appreciate this.  I am learning more and more just how talented my students are inside and outside of the school day.

I am also very good at research and finding good and relevant information.  I am obsessed with information and I love sharing great content.  If I know you are interested in something that I come across, you are going to hear about it!

I am also rather skilled at the use of technology and in the integration of technology into the classroom.  It was not always this way.  In high school (at the dawn of the internet) I despised computers and I firmly believe they despised me.  I was always quite sure that when computers took over the world I would be one of the first targeted for destruction or enslavement.  When I started teaching I realized what an asset technology can be to education and how relevant it was to students.  I made it a personal goal to become efficient at the use of computers and technology.  I am now very skilled in many areas and often help other teachers use and integrate technology into their classrooms.

I really like computers and try to learn as much as I can.  Been a cataloger and a systems librarian for many many years.
